Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw na tumama sa mga mata ko,tumihaya ako and stared at my ceiling, I smiled when I saw my glow In the dark cookie stickers na naka dikit doon, dahan-dahan akong umupo and glanced at my alarm clock
Its still early
I said to myself and stood up, I went straight to my bathroom and took a bath, after taking a bath wearing my bathrobe I walked inside my closet and grabbed my usual attire which is a white puffy blouse, fiited jeans, my white 2 inch heels and a Prada purse, after changing I went to my vanity to put some minimal make-up just to add more colors to my face, after all of that I smiled at the mirror one last time and went out of my house and got inside of my car
After a few minutes of driving I finally reached my cafe at agad ng bumaba ng sasakyan ko, I was right in time because when I arrieved nakita kong kakabukas lang ni Casby "My best friend and also the manager of my cafe" ng cafe, as I was walking papunta sakanya bigla akong nabangga ng isang lalaki that made me almost fell down good thing he catched me before my butt touches the ground, he was wearing a black mask and a hoodie I can only see his green forest eyes that stared down to the dept of my soul
I didn't even had the chance to scold him for almost making me fall and thank him for catching me because he immediately stood me up and walked as fast as he could like he saw a ghost, I just shaked my head and stared at him as he walks away, when i didn't see him na I looked back at my cafe at pumasok na, my employees smiled at me and greeted me a good morning I smiled at them too and went straight to the kitchen to start baking.
I was washing my hands after baking 5 different flavors of cake, 20 trays of dark chocolate cookies and another 20 trays for the original cookies, that's like I was wiping my hands when Casby entered the kitchen, I leaned my back at the sink and stared at her
"Why don't you just hire someone to bake the cakes and cookies? you look like h3ll after doing all the work, you still have some icing on your face" she said and wiped the icing off my cheeks
I just smiled at her and grabbed the tissue and gave it to her to wipe the icing in her hand "What's the use of me learning how to bake if I want even do it?" I said and shaked my head
"Well you got a point" she said which made me chuckled "Anyway someone handed me this earlier while I was opening the cafe" she said and showed me a brown paper bag, I frowend at her "Why did you accepted it? it might not be for me" I said while scanning the paper bag
Casby snorted and flipped the paper bag my eyes widend a little when I saw my full name printed on it, it wasnt just a plain paper bag after all, Casby Shaked her and and grabbed my hand and put the paper bag and then she left
For Marie Doe Velasquez
Matagal Kong tinitigan ang hawak na paper bag before I decided to go to my office, i placed the paper bag in the table so I can take off my apron when I noticed something or migth as well say someone outside the window, for those who don't know there's this big park besides my cafe and there is a big mango tree there, I squinted my eyes and finally saw a black tall figure looking at my way he kind of looks familiar I can feel his intense gaze pierced to my soul
I looked away because my heart was beating so darn fast it feels like its gonna give me an heart attack, I calmed myself before I looked at the window again but the dark figure was already gone
or maybe I was just delusional
I said to myself and walked towards my office holding the paper bag,when I got inside I sat and closed my eyes fighting the urge to open it, like what if it wasn't really for me? or maybe there is another girl named the same as mine?
"Stop with the what ifs just open it already!"
Nagulat ako when someone spoke in the corner, it was Casby, ni hindi ko nga namalayan na pumasok pala sya sa opisina ko, I was so focused finding an excuse for me not open the paper bag
"Casby you know that I'm eally hesitant to open it like what if bomba dyan pag bukas ko?!?" I said scaring her but it seems like it didn't work
She walked near me and took the brown paper bag "If you don't want to open it then I will" She said and ripped open the paper bag, I saw how her eyes glimmer in happiness as she looked at what's inside the paper bag
"O to the M to the G Madie! it's so pretty!" she said and took out the silver necklace with an heart shaped pendant I couldn't help but being awe as I look at the necklace, its definitely pretty but pursigido parin akong ibalik iyon sa kung sino man ang nag bigay
Nakangiting lumapit saakin si Casby at inilagay sa leeg ko ang kwintas I held her hand and looked at her giving her a warning not to put it but she didn't listen and still did it
"Casby! I said not to put it!" sabi ko sakanya but she was just smiling at me "Oh shut up Madie I know you like it and it looks good on you!" she explained I just shocked my head and went to the mirror to see the necklace
It does look good on me
I said to myself pero ayaw ko parin itong suotin baka galing ito sa nakaw at ako pa ang mapagbintangan, I reached for the lock and when I did I tried to take it off pero Hindi ito matanggal, I looked at Casby hawak nya ang lalagyan ng box she was reading something then I saw her widen her eyes then she looked and made a peace sign then bigla syang tumakbo papabalabas
Baliw
Napailing-iling nalang ako and went near to the paper bag kung nasaan ang lalagyan ng necklace baka may guide roon na makakapagsabi how to take off this necklace, I was scanning the box when I noticed something that was written in bright red that made me shout Casby's full name
"CASSANDRA RUBY!!!!!"
Padabog akong lumabas sa opisina at agad na hinanap si Casby I even asked some of my employees if nakita ba nila si Casby only to found out he's hiding sa lagayan ng mga mop at walis, siguro if i was i cartoon chacter umuusok ngayon ang ilong ko sa galit
Pag bukas ko ng pinto nakita ko agad si Casby, she was holding a mop ang covering her face like it would make her disapper
"Casby!" i shouted like she was miles away from me, she slowly put temop down and smiled at me sweetly lik she didn't do anything to me, i angryly grabbed her ears and dragged her back to my office, ayukong makita kami ng mga employees naming nag babangayan duon
When we entered my office again nakapamewang akong naka titig sakanya habang siya naman ay hinahaplos haplos ang talenga niyang namumula
"I didn't know okey!" she said defending herself"
"What do you mean you don't know! it was written on BIG RED BRIGHT COLORS! bakit ba kasi isinuot mo kaagad!" Naiirita kong sagot sakanya
"Bakit ka ba nagagalit? that necklace if for you naman ah!" sabat naman niya, hinilot ko nalang ang sintido ko dahil sa pagkairita, nakalagay kasi sa box ng necklace na natatanggal lang ito gamit ang Isang susi and then there's a note sa loob ng box that says
''The key is with me if you wear it, it means you accept my gift and I will take mine soon"
Like ni hindi ko nga alam kung kanino galing ang kwintas na ito! how the h3ll would I know kung sino ang may hawak ng susi na iyon! and nakakakilabot din na may kukunin raw siya from me! like baka kidnapper ito or something!
KUNG DI KO LANG TO KAIBIGAN SI CASBY I WOULD TACKLE HER TO DE4TH!
